Kubrick Exhibit

For my birthday last year I went to the Kubrick exhibit at LACMA. With "Dr. Strangelove" screening Thursday January 16 at the Whistle Stop, I thought it would be fun to share my photos.

Th choice of hanging these dresses in a kind of ghostly manner proved exceptionally effective... and creepy.

Things that would never be... the exhibit also displayed material from projects Kubrick would never realize, like this concept art for his proposed film adaptation of "A.I."

Another unrealized project was Kubrick's biography of Napoleon. But he kept a large library catalog file in which he detailed every possible moment he could from Napoleon's life.
